As a Kansas resident I can only respond -- "We resemble that remark."
When the Solo Nationals were held in Salina, I always got a kick out of the
difference in perception between drivers coming from the west and from the
east.
West: "Yep, Kansas sure is flat" (having just crossed the High Plains)
East: "I thought Kansas was supposed to be flat" (having just crossed the
Flint Hills).
Salina (or anywhere on the I-135/US-81 corridor) being generally the area at
which one transitioned to the other.
